Yeah no, I would recommend this to noone because you are literally forced to get an Account and let the software run constantly just to get pro feature, meanwhile you pay a heck ton of money to it. Huge downgrade, can't use it with 90% of different devices because only Windows 10 and 11 is supported, no Xbox, Playstation, Phone, Linux PC or Steam Deck. Except you love bad Audio for which the price is not worth for.
A friend had the older ones that had the exact features but the software is purely on the Station. Additionally on the older ones you could slide the batteries in and out which seem to have a very satisfying feeling. (I guess swapping increased from 2 seconds to 60seconds for the newer ones?)
Found the post on which I created my opinion on the headset. https://www.reddit.com/r/steelseries/comments/v9kq26/steelseries_nova_pro_wireless_linux_and_bad/
I don't know man. I have this one a few years now and i can use it what want it to use for. I can easily plug and play in my pc and ps4/5 with usb/ dongle/receiver. I can even hook it up to my switch with a extra 3.5 audio cable connected to the receiver.
It has no bluetooth but i don't need it for that, but you can use a 3,5 audio cable if you really want to.
I can use it on windows 10 and 11 without the software. I even could just plug and play with linux mint without problems. Only if you want to have DTS you need the software and thats not supported on linux.
Also i'm talking about the artics 7, not the nova pro. This thing sounds great.
